A friend of mine visited Bauchi state and lodged in a Hotel; would you believe that they were not allowed to take beer in the Hotel?. This same Bauchi state shares out of the company taxes and VAT paid by Guinness and Nigeria Breweries to Federal government.

I just read on Nairaland that Bauchi State House of Assembly is about to pass a bill to criminalise betting.

If any state can criminalise the consumption of alcohol and sport betting,, such a state should be religious enough to criminalise being a beneficiary of the revenue that it earns from sport betting and alcohol..

This is my opinion. What's yours?

I concur,, gbaaam

One a day brave southerner will become the President and correct this anomalies through executive power. Believe me it will happen. Its simple if you don't like alcohol, gambling then you simply don't have to share from the rax proceeds.

That's exactly how it ought to be! What u don't eat u don't share with ur teeth...

This is one of the area that goes to show GEJ as a weakling.
Instead of him back then to concentrate on the NOW, he was looking at the AFTER.

I said this not quite long .

I only blame Islam.

You don't need to ban. Just create employment for the youths and the youths will ban themselves.

This should be taken to court if politicians are not interested in discussing issue.

Na Northern Muslim hypocrisy dey

All this Boko Haram & herdsmen wahala
was brought about by Sharia, which BTW
is only used by their elite against their masses
& Christian interests.

A former Sharia gov & now
Senator was filmed, nakked with 2
oloshos and nothing was done.

What percentage of their allocation comes from these proceeds?

Personally I dont care what anyone bans as long it doesn't violate constitutional rights. Its part of living in a republic and people can choose where they live. How this play out in court will be interesting because it could go either way. Then they have to figure out what to cut which is a rabbit hole.

Scenario 1: they agree the the revenue shouldn't be shared.

Scenario 2: they say it ok to share since nass has power of purse to legislate.

163.

(a) where such tax or duty is collected by the Government of a State or other authority of the State, the net proceeds shall be treated as part of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of that State;

(b) where such tax or duty is collected by the Government of the Federation or other authority of the Federation, there shall be paid to each State at such times as the National Assembly may prescribe a sum equal to the proportion of the net proceeds of such tax or duty that are derived from that State.
